Why Choose a Hometown Florist™
Your Hometown Florist™
- Will have a store in your Hometown to visit and shop.
- Will have experienced designers on staff to create your design.
- Will have experienced sales people on staff who know what is available
and of the best quality to help with your selection and who will get to know
you and your tastes.
- Can create a custom design just for you, not a preconceived item.
- Will know what's appropriate in your area, for example, funeral work is
very regional and what's appropriate in one area may be different in
another. Your local florist will know this.
- Values you as a customer and will assure your order is done properly,
whether it is a local or out-of-town order.
Order Gatherers (800 Numbers and Dot.Coms)
- Do not have a storefront where you can visit and shop.
- Are typically located in a Telemarketing Center.
- Are basically people answering phones with limited knowledge of flowers
and availability.
- Each time you call, it's likely you'll speak with a different person.
- Can only order from a catalog or photo - making it difficult to add that special
touch.
Here's the kicker folks…calling your local "hometown florist" can
be less expensive! Did you realize that you are most likely paying an Extra
Service Charge to order gatherers for processing your local delivery order? Most
of our florists have their own websites and 800 numbers for when you're out of
town. Many of us have an answering service which means you can reach us 24/7.
You can access these and not pay the extra service fees! We make every attempt
to make it as convenient as possible, with all of the extra service
thrown in … not the extra charges.
